It has been two years, since LucasFilm announced the end of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and that they would release "bonus content."

In that aftermath of this decision, the #SaveTheCloneWars website, Facebook page and twitter account were established on March 14, 2013. Thanks again the thousands Clone Wars fans who have supported the campaign. The Facebook page has over 10,000 likes, and twitter account.has over 2,300 followers.

In the last two years, we have gotten a lot content, from this cancelled animated series. After almost a year of waiting, in March 2014, Star Wars: The Clone Wars "The Lost Missions" which consisted of thirteen fully animated episodes, were initially released on Netflix. "The Lost Missions" were later released on DVD and Blu-ray, on November 11, 2014.

Dark Disciple, the Asajj Ventress & Quinlan Vos novel, written by Christie Golden, is based on unfinished episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The novel is available for pre-order at Amazon, and it is scheduled for release by Del Rey on July 7, 2015 in the U.S.

As recently, as yesterday's episode of Rebel Force Radio, information continues to come out about the unfinished episodes from season six and seven. Filoni mentions two Clone Wars arcs that
were shot that feature Ahsoka's continued story, and he mentions showing these arcs to his Rebels team. When asked
if more episodes of The Clone Wars would be released, he said that, if
so, it would be like the Utapau story reels. He also reveals, in the interview, that
there will be "very exciting Clone Wars things" at Star Wars Celebration that is "all motivated by the fans staying so persistent." Perhaps, some of these
unfinished episodes will be shown at Celebration, or perhaps, an
announcement will be made about a future release at StarWars.com.

In addition to these stories, a very popular Clone Wars character returned at the end of season one of Star Wars Rebels, and although the character design is quite different, Ahsoka Lives! Recently, Dave Filoni talked with USA Today about Ahsoka.

In the article "A Jedi returns in 'Star Wars Rebels' finale" Brian Truitt wrote, "When Clone Wars ended last year, Filoni still had
12 episodes of stories that explored Ahsoka's history and what happened
to her after leaving the Jedi order when she was around age 16 — many of
them were worked on with George Lucas while he was still heavily
involved in the Star Wars universe."

In an interview with Eric Goldman from IGN, Filoni also recently stated the following.

"But there are things happening in [Star Wars Rebels] Season 2 where
I’ve thrown a line here and a line there that I know will land with the
fans, and they’ll be like, “What is she talking about? What is that
referencing?” I think it will drive them insane with curiosity, in the
best way possible. People will start to
piece it all together and then hopefully, I can one day tell these kind
of stories that I want to. I myself am curious at what medium it will be
in at the end of the day. I don’t know."Read More: (Star Wars Rebels Co-Creator on Season 1's Big Death and Big Return and Where Season 2 Will Go)

There are still stories to be told, and Dave Filoni wants to tell them. Let's continue to let Disney and LucasFilm know that there is an interest and a demand for these stories!

Also, thanks once again to Jimmy Mac from Rebel Force Radio for sounding the alarm and being the first to encourage Clone Wars fans to contact Disney and LucasFilm and ask them to #SaveTheCloneWars.

A few highlights:
36:56 - The Dave Filoni Interview begins. They talk more about Ahsoka than anything else regarding Star Wars Rebels.

46:58 - He mentions showing the Rebels team some footage of Ahsoka from season 6 and season 7. Dave mentions that there were several episodes in production, and that the ones that were released as season six, were the ones that were completed. He thinks its exciting that there are scenes out there may create a lore around these things, like the long rumored Luke building his light saber scene.

47:49 - He mentions putting out the unfinished Utapau arc online, because "fans have such a tremendous devotion to the show," and that it was a "direct response to LucasFilm seeing the love that fans have for the show."

48:20 - He says there is a lot of work that remains unfinished. He again references the arc that they had shot that was continuing Ahsoka's story that had complicated action. He mentions the scripts that they have written, and some of the history, scripts that have been written, have changes a little bit.

49:22 - He says that in the beginning of the series, there was almost a black and white rule that any new characters introduced would have to be eliminated by the end of the series, but the stories evolved along the way.

50:20 - He says that there will be things that were referred to in Rebels will make fans wonder what they are talking about. These mysteries will be from the history, that we as fans we don't know, at least at this point.

51:55 - Jimmy Mac asks if we will get more episodes of Clone Wars? He says that, if anything, it would be more the Utapau form unfinished. He tries to honor the stories and represent the work well. A big key for him is if they have the final cast recording, instead of temp tracks.

57:13 - Vader vs Ahsoka? Obviously, Dave cannot answer this question.

1:11:00 - There will be some "very exciting Clone Wars things" at Star Wars Celebration that is "all motivated by the fans staying so persistent. There really isn't a time that you can go anything mentions about Rebels and not have #SaveTheCloneWars people fragging it. It's really awesome! It's enjoyable. It's really endearing." He also says that he asked if he could put things together for Clone Wars fans at Celebration.
